The vibrant and bustling city of Split is the largest in the
Dalmatia region, one of four historical districts spread throughout
Croatia. Split enjoy a prime position on the Dalmatia coast with a
beautiful mountain backdrop and is popular with locals and tourists
alike for its atmospheric restaurants, bars and shops.
There is no doubt that the main attraction in Split is
Diocletian's Palace. This ancient palace, built for the Roman
emperor of the same name, takes up most of the waterfront of
Split's old town. It is the largest archaeological site on the
Adriatic coast and is the perfect place to visit for anyone
who is looking to take in some history on their holiday.
As well as the historical sites that beg to be explored, there
are also plenty of sandy beaches with crystal clear waters for you
to enjoy. Bacvise beach can be reached in approximately 10 minutes
on foot from the city centre, and the pebbled Trstenik beach is
also very popular.
Along with the city of Split, the Riviera is also made up of
lots of small yet charming villages and towns. These localities
offer more peace and quiet but are still in close proximity to the
main city. Podstrana is approximately 7km from Split and is made up
of 5 small villages. Solin is also just 8km outside of Split and
here is where the River Jadro meets the Adriatic sea. The river is
surrouneded by lots of greenery and is a great place to go
walking.
